    Replays not always recording?

    Seems that when I play 20+ games a day it only shows like 7-10 of my replays is this happening to anyone else?

    That's because it only keeps the last 10 or so games you have played. If you subscribe, it saves more replays.

      yup. for nonsubscribers... i think it only shows the last 10. then it wipes them. if you want to keep some, you have to click save. you should be able to save 5. subscribers get to see their last 100.

          Will it be like that until replays are fixed or no?

            will be like that even after they are fixed. replays were taking up WAY too much space on the server, causing huge db lag, etc etc. massive massive massive amounts of data was being stored.

              Hahaha, yeah, me and reptile3141 had about 35,000 playbacks combined before they were wiped. It's for the better that they aren't allowed to hog up space like that.

              Though, it would be nice if the non-subbies could get more than just 5 saved replays. That's not very much. :/

                I still think if it could be done, the best way would be to give a total replay number to subbies/non-subbies, and the ability to save anywhere from 0-X of them where X is how many they get.

                As I understand it now, it's like "You can see your last 10, and also you can save 5" which I guess means that you could have 5 saved, and another 10 displayed for a total of 15?

                What I think would be better is "You can have 15" And if you don't save any, you get your 15 most recent, if you save 1 you get also your 14 most recent, and if you save 14, you get only your 1 most recent.

                It still keeps the total replays stored as a smallish number, but allows you to go right to the max that will display anyway with saved ones. If I'm going to get to see 15 replays, why shouldn't I be able to have all 15 be saved ones I really like?

                  I'm actually not 100% sure how it works. Jason and his thinktank did some crazy voodoo on it a few weeks ago. But regardless, it needs to be addressed. We went from the extreme of not deleting any replays to now deleting almost everything.

                  I feel there should be middle ground on it, just hasn't been discussed yet. We'll get there. Something that can make everyone happy... and the servers too.

                    Something else to note...

                    It's not recording perfectly.

                    Take a look at my run on Strangeprogram. http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...play/18068187/

                    For me, it is breaking way more then 15 times, which is what I originally only broke. It doesn't even go up to my maximum combo. Any idea?

                      yes... that's been well known. replays are their own system and still have the avmiss fix. we're working on getting that fixed.

                        Re: Replays not always recording?

                        One thing I haven't taken the time to test out that I'm sure someone who has played a lot more can clear up for me: what is the actual behavior of replays as you fill them up now?

                        I can think of three ways for it to work. The question isn't even which one is how it works, the question is which one -ought- to be how it works.

                        1/ You can have a max of 10 replays. Once you have 10 replays, the next song you play records as a replay, deleting the oldest one you had.

                        2/ You can have a max of 10 replays. Once you have 10 replays, the next song you play continually paves over your newest replay

                        3/ You can have a max of 10 replays. Once you have 10 replays, the next song you play wipes all 10 replays and is saved as replay 1

                        Of these, I think that 1/ is the best way for it to work. Each new play you make just bumps the oldest replay you haven't marked as "save" into deletion and just continually stacks onto the top, but it sounds from some reports like 3/ is more like what is actually going on.

                            i believe #3 is currently how it is working.

                              It also happens to be the most memory-smart choice of them all.
